Marriage is NOT Designed for Your Happiness...

In this episode, Cassidy and Daniela get into a very counterintuitive subject--the PURPOSE of marriage. Don't be too quick to write this episode off! We guarantee you, there's more to the title than meets the eye. Our culture inundates us with all types of mantras and mottos, among which are the phrases "find the person that makes YOU happy" or "follow your heart". Though these slogans may sound good, they aren't entirely true. They lack a lot of depth. The Bible delineates the fact that as the Body of Christ, believers are created for a purpose, and the marriage relationship is a pattern of that purpose.  Don't miss this episode!
